Wanna show off what you can build with PHP and AI? Just tagged Symfony AI v1.0.0-BETA1 Yesterday and now we're running a hackathon to see what we can build with it - would love to see some of you trying it out in the open and build something fun! symfony.com/blog/symfony...
Just pushed another tag - four weeks of work. Getting closer and closer to v1.0.0 💪 Release Notes: github.com/symfony/ai/r... BC Breaks: github.com/symfony/ai/b...
Just merged support for Jev into symfony/ai - from now on that mono repo gets split into exactly 100 packages. We added way more: support for Higgsfield, Together AI, Fireworks, Venice, and next up Eden AI. And support for async jobs/batch and agents using tools of MCP servers.
Symfony AI v0.13.0 released 🎉 Another month of work got tagged - still v0.x - some larger changes land in Mate, MCP Bundle and Agent this time. Release Notes: github.com/symfony/ai/r... BC Breaks: github.com/symfony/ai/b... Thanks to everyone who contributed! 🙏

Just tagged one month of Symfony AI development as v0.7.0 🎉 The work of 25 contributors - only counting the humans involved.
Deployed a new version of ai.symfony.com today - a bit more welcoming for starters to get into Symfony AI I hope :)
We just released the very first tagged version of that Symfony AI thing we've been working on a lot lately - Merry Christmas! 🎄🎅🎁 symfony.com/blog/symfony...
On my way back from Berlin and wow, what an awesome trip! The hackday went great 💪 @chr-hertel.bsky.social did an amazing work cooking #Symfony AI, yet there’s a million more things to do. Want to have an impact on your favorite framework? There’s no better time. Come on 🤗
If you want to help a big open source project form the beginning. Have a look here. Symfony AI just became public with a lot of cool stuff but it is a bit rough on the edges. Help us make it shine in the next few weeks

Thrilled to announce the launch of the new #Twig playground! Powered by PHP wasm, everything operates directly in the browser. It lets you try out Twig templates online. The state is preserved in the URL for easy sharing, perfect for bug reports. https://buff.ly/3Dq1W15
So, I've been working on a library to integrate PHP applications easily with LLMs and just wrapped up a Symfony demo application, that helps to understand how to get started: github.com/php-llm/symf... Happy about feedback, ideas and contributions!
